maven jar versus ant jar
I was finally able to build my snapshot jar using maven after going thru all the missing dependencies. But what I noticed is that the maven jar is much larger than my ant jar. Can anybody tell me why this is so ? Should they be different in sizes after converting the build to maven ? what should I be looking for causes of differences ?

Greg T. sent you this reply a few days back when you asked this
question previously:
> jar tvf abc.jar
That is (still) the answer to your question.

RE: maven jar versus ant jar
Posted by "Magnanao, Hector" <he...@sap.com>.
Hi Greg,
I was able to resolve the problem here with assistance from a developer. The jar was being packaged because it was being placed under my resources folder. So to fix it, I had to put an exclude clause in my pom file. Answering your questions below, I installed it using mvn install and the jar I'm installing is a java jar. I needed to install the jar locally in order for my compile to work. I couldn't find the jar in any maven repository so I installed it locally. Here is the solution that worked for me. When I changed my pom file to do an exclude, I did a mvn clean and the rebuild and now my jar is much smaller than before.
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/resources</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/resources/aspose.pdf-3.2.jdk16.jar</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resources>
Thanks,
Hector

Hi Hector:
Could you describe in very precise terms how you “installed it locally”? That might help us understand the problem. And perhaps you’ve already mentioned it, but what kind of jar file are you actually building? What does it get installed into?
Cheers,

RE: maven jar versus ant jar
Posted by "Magnanao, Hector" <he...@sap.com>.
I've done "mvn clean" several times and built again. It still keeps getting packaged in my jar. The only difference with this dependency is that I installed it locally. My pom just declares it as a dependency. Do I need to clean up my .m2 directory to start fresh ?

Try "mvn clean" first to be sure you didn't accidentally put the
contents of that jar file in target/ and forget about it. Then build
again.
If it is still large and includes those files, there must be something
in your pom file that is causing it to occur. Very hard to debug your
build without seeing these details.

Re: maven jar versus ant jar
Posted by Ron Wheeler <rw...@artifact-software.com>.
Putting "provided" scope on a dependency tells Maven that you need the
dependency at compile time but do not need it in the jar since you are
going to provide the dependency on the classpath yourself.
Very common when you are building a webapp and you have a bunch of jars
already loaded into the servlet container (tomcat for example) and you
don't need it in every webapp war file as well.

I found out why my maven jar is much bigger. It looks like it's including a dependency jar inside the SNAPSHOT jar. I installed this jar locally so I can compile but now it's being included in the build itself. So how do I exclude it when I do a mvn package ?
